Lock 27 in Glasgow City

Absolute gem of a place. Lovely service, great view looking out onto the canal, and delicious food. We ordered two mains, loaded fries, and two pints of juice, and it only came to £36.40. Highly recommend the fish and chips and the Cajun loaded fries. Can't wait to go back!

I gave 3 stars for Lock 27 even though ghe Service and Atmosphere were on 4 stars. This is because the price of a drink is a bit pricey @ around £5.60 a pint.We went on a Saturday when there was a Band playing a variety of mostly chart songs.There was a good crowd but the Band were a bit hit and miss with some songs being done well and vocals quite good,then another song was not so good with the vocals not great.The Band took a break and the customers cut down to about a third of what had been a full house before the Band continued.Nice Pub that offers food and good Bar Staff,but the price of a Pint compared to Wetherspoons which is less than a 10 minute walk from Lock 27,is a bit much.

Always warm and comfortable. Great service. Foid very good. Nice relaxing family atmosphere.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Super dog friendly and the staff are great 😀

My dog was attacked inside here yesterday, the way staff handled it was disgusting to say the least! The owner of the pocket bully who attacked my dog was allowed to stay inside while me,my partner and my injured dog had to sit outside in the rain for hours whilst waiting on the police to arrive! My dogs throat has been left with chunks out of it while my partners leg was left punctured! Not one of the staff members asked if any of us where ok throughout all of this. Staff were so rude to myself and my partner. Wouldn't take your dog in here.

Nice wee pub by the canal, civilised locals, decent food and

The food is general pub food lovely to eat. The service from staff is great and they are really helpful. The atmosphere was good as I went on a Tuesday night, which was their quiz night.

Nice environment for a chill time.

Pretty decent wee pub, especially in the summer. They have gotten rid of Sky Sports, which is disappointing.

Been here a couple times now and always been impressed, the staff could not be more helpful and the food is lovely! Prices are reasonable too and it’s really nice in the summer with it being just on the canal!

We visited on a quiet day so was easy to park however, I imagine on a busy day the few spaces would not be enough. Food was lovely, staff friendly and very well decorated.

Found this place by accident been my favourite restaurant/pub since. The food is excellent and good portion size and not to pricey. The staff are very friendly and very quick service.

Relaxed bar with canalside seats. Nice place to go for a quiet drink with people or as a stop off en route

I recently lost my Mum and as Lock 27 was close by to all her family and friends, we decided to have her Wake after the funeral at the Lock. I’d asked to be catered for about 35 people and when we walked in we were blown away by the friendliness of the staff on duty and the spread of food that greeted us on our arrival. Home made lentil soup, wonderful selection of sandwiches, chicken strips, sausage rolls, pakora bites, etc , tea coffee, . and delicious little desserts!! Most folk stayed all afternoon and it took us a good few hours to get through it all! I’d asked Chris, the owner to play a wee video of my Mum on the big TV and he set up his computer so we could show the video which all her friends and family adored. A lovely touch and it turned what can be a difficult day into an absolute delight which a lot of Mum’s friends said she would have loved. I found myself back at Lock 27 today for a neighbour’s funeral and yet again they got a great send off! I would heartily recommend Lock 27 for this type of event and I never really leave reviews, but credit where credit’s due. Very pleased indeed!

Settle ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The fish was really tasty but had to settle for gluten. The chips were just fine and they have a lot of loaded-fries options, so I'm not sure if anything's good beyond the fish. The location is really nice, sit outside if the weather permits. (bonus Monster Hunter Now AR photo!)

Pub grub at a lovely place, baby & dog friendly, 10/10

Good service and food plus I could take my dog indoors

So much potential with location, however, the curse of the pubco strikes again. 'Out the packet' style branding, over-priced mainstream beers with no real imagination towards the modern drinker. Staff were brilliant though and always carry on with a smile on their face. If the sun's out it's the best spot in that locale for an alfresco beer but tables go quick and you do have to watch out for wayward self-righteous cyclists and a few over excited barking dogs.

Always busy with walkers, cyclists and locals on a sunny day 🌞. Good selection of beer and al fresco seating, some tables under cover in case of showers. Options for locking bikes to heavy furniture or canal railings if you need that.

Met with friends and had a great night

Great venue, good music, lovely setting, friendly staff, great for just drinks or for food

Great service , beautiful food , lovely atmosphere.

My young server was amazing!!! Food wasn’t as good as the server. Kind of sticky tables.

Took the kids after our 5 mile bike ride for charity, food wasn’t great fries were the best thing we got (kids devoured them), however we did have a fab time!! Staff were awesome especially our teen server! Dogs had a blast. Although I was was concerned that the kids would fall into the canal. Overall had a fantastic time here!! Would recommend.

Sadly no tables available outside. May have been nicer outside.

Tuesday pub quiz is great, staff are friendly and helpful food nice too

Just stopped for a drink whilst cycling along the canal. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the bar was well stocked with a good variety.

When the weather is good it's ideal. Staff are mostly friendly. Guy without the uniform was a bit short with the customers. Seemed stressed for some reason.

Handy lunch venue near to the University of Glasgow Veterinary School. I've been using Lock 27 for years but only thrice since acquisition by the latest owners. I will be back, no doubt.

It's always had the location. Service is good but the food is over priced pub grub of the most basic offering. For drinks in the sun it works but wouldn't bother eating. It's dog friendly which is a positive.

Brilliant wee pub nice and peaceful in the afternoon

Nice pub nice food clean loos all you need when walking or cycling the canal

A friend from The Netherlands visited and we had a fantastic day and then dinner at Lock 27! Great meal in an even greater loacation.xx

Our go to place on a friday evening, they have modified the seating area with big glass windows overlooking the canal. The temple walk itself is perfect for joggers, casual strollers, dog walkers, leisurely strollers, fishing enthusiasts ( with licenses) etc. The food is decent and not too expensive. There is also a pub within to enjoy a couple of drinks with buddies or family. The restaurant allows dogs inside and also have decent toilet facilities. There is dog water bowl at most of the outdoor seating area. Small events can be hosted here . We also enjoyed live music at some days as well. However, parking is restricted (5 cars max) and sometimes card are parked at the adjacent lanes.

Food was lovely apart from the chips( over done skinny French fries)

Had a get together with some friends here last weekend and we had a great time. The staff are so friendly, the food was yummy, and the location is fab. Would deffo recommend.

Fuimos aquí para un almuerzo. . . . . {} ha sido un par de veces. . . . . Las comidas eran muy agradable el servicio era bueno, la única queja que tuvimos fue que esperó mucho tiempo para la comida, por lo que pensamos que al menos debe estar recién hecha, pero. . . . . . Fue un poco frío no suficientemente malo a quejarse, pero podía haber sido un poco más caliente.

Ha sido dos veces en la última semana, así que debe tener algo de positivo.

Excellent service, but at over £20 for lunch for 2, I would expect decent quality food. The haggis neeps n tatties was drowned in peppercorn sauce and the haggis was barely edible.

Nos encanta este lugar. Está muy cerca de nuestra casa y ofrece preciosas vistas al canal. El paseo es fascinante y proporciona el templo de la paz interior. Perfecto para correr y mascota caminar. La comida en este restaurante-bar es bastante razonable, así como deliciosos. Ofrece oferta comida para 2 comensales para tan bajo como 20 libras (gastos extra para carne), bien vale la pena el precio. El personal es amable y ofrecen un ambiente acogedor y tranquilo. Lo recomiendo altamente.

I have been there years ago and it was nice there. But it has changed a lot: the food is not tasty, cheap ingredients, convenience with no taste. The Manager is rude to guests and staff. Toilets in a horrible state. Not worth visiting

El personal era amable, la comida era buena volvería de nuevo y recomiendo que visite siempre cosas buenas y siempre una sonrisa y ocupado lugar sittingbout lado recomendado para el verano

No había sido ella durante bastante tiempo, y nunca volveré. Como han mencionado en comentarios anteriores, la razón de ser de la increíblemente maleducado camarero/propietario con la su chaleco. Este hombre considera que es imposible decir por favor o gracias, y me dio mi cambio sin siquiera mirar a mí. Hay muchos sitios mejores para pasar nuestro dinero ganado duramente, así que no volveré.

La mayoría del personal hay justo lo suficiente, pero el hombre que supongo es el dueño es bastante grosero, no dice por favor o gracias, snatches su dinero y en general tiene una forma bastante desagradable, abrupto que no es realmente un montón de cualidades para una licitación, así como el hecho de que empezaron a servir alguien mientras piensan atenderme y me hizo esperar. Si sólo sus modales eran tan nítido como su sentido de vestimenta, cuestan nada después de todo. El resto del lugar es bastante sucia, con bebidas demasiado cara y un poco de un ambiente pobre. La comida es probablemente la única salvación, junto con el hecho de que es uno de los únicos establecimientos con asientos al aire libre en un día agradable.

Had a great lunch here for a cycle stop. Big plateful of good food. Nice beer too. Lovely spot. Good outdoor seating area to enjoy the sun too

Cuando entra Lock 27 el ambiente es siempre relajado y reminiscencias de Saludos mientras la comida siempre es original, pero con un giro gourmet. Los platos no son predecibles, pero increíble! Aunque me pierda el menú antiguo el nuevo menú tiene el mismo asombro.

Paramos aquí mientras recorre el Forth y Clyde Canal en un día de marzo. Gran parada de descanso para sentarse y observar el flujo de canal con patos, cisnes y otras cosas al azar! No tienen comida o alcohol pero había muchos alrededor de nosotros que eran. Sólo puede ser una buena señal. Tendrá que aparecer para un bocado algún día!

Worse pub ever had the misfortune to enter... Used to visit regularly.. After this visit it's our last..Rude barman. Took all his time to serve us. What happened to customer service. Cannot understand why anyone still drinks in this establishment. Has gone right downhill.

Used to come here a lot for good food and great atmosphere. Sadly this is no longer the case, the menu is basic and the decor is dated. The best thing about this place is dj George on a Friday night, banging tunes and great guy!

I live locally and have been a number of times to Lock 27. Whilst the food has always been to a v good standard and it is a nice spot to sit outside on the canal on a sunny day I always come away feeling that the place could be so much more than it is.The general place could do with a bit of an overhaul/ re decoration and the beer on tap is disappointing. One or two more craft beers would really lift the selection. The service can also be a wee bit hit and miss. Sometimes I have had brilliant service and other times it has been a wee bit too rough and ready. I feel with smartening the place up a bit it would be a real go to spot given the canal side location.

Dropped in here with a friend for lunch .First and last time. Should have turned back as we opened the door when we were almost overcome with the all-pervasive smell of disinfectant. What required to be disinfected to that extent and why ? Anyway , we were pointed in the direction of a free table by a gentleman whom I assumed to be the owner, ensconced behind the bar, surveying his fiefdom . I've read a number of reviews where mention is made of this chap . No, there aren't any virtues in being brusque or rude as this guy undoubtedly is - it's service with a smile that works for me, not a scowl .If you can't bother your backside being a mein host , then go and do something else ! The interior was pretty dingy and seemed to have as it's customers a rather eclectic bunch - a few Napoleon Solos nursing a pint and reading a paper and a few couples. The food was overpriced, unimaginative and there wasn't much of it - head down the road to Morrisons and get their all day mega breakfast - far superior quality, quantity and for half the price.......only problem is , you can't get an alcoholic drink with it . Will leave this place to it's loyal band of customers who have clearly cultivated tastes in bland , overpriced scran and rude service. Strange....

We have eaten here on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed. With the lovely tartan carpets and original features, it has a great Scottish feeling. Canal boats pull up alongside, as well as regular customers who enjoy the ambiance. The food is not only good value, but tastes great. The bar staff are friendly and helpful. The owner is a bit of a Basil Fawlty Towers type, but always is immaculately dressed, and is his "own man". He definitely wants to please, but at the same time "doesn't suffer fools gladly", which is great as you don't get any trouble makers here. We are not easily pleased, but we have enjoyed every visit to this establishment. If you want to enjoy a relaxing atmosphere, enjoy good food, sit outside if the weather allows - or go inside and enjoy nice surroundings - I doubt you will disappointed. This place has character and charm. We hope you enjoy, as we do.

my wife and I heard that it wasn't the best place to go so we thought we would try it and as it turned out the food was excellent, we have been back 4 times since and although the manager seems unfriendly he is actually ok, i assume that they may have changed their chef recently and this new guy is really good, my wife said that the lasagne was the best she has ever had, like us, give it a try and make your own mind up.

Hadn't been to Lock 27 for a few years after having a bad experience but this was definitely not the case on this visit - really good. When ordering a drink the Manager pointed out that the draft cider asked for was 7.4% and unsuitable if driving - very helpful and thanks for the tip- alternatively, ordered wine and happy to know would not be over the limit. Our attention was drawn to the special of two main courses and a bottle of wine for £20 and which included any main course on the menu. We ordered the fish and chips and chicken fajitas both which were fresh and well cooked. Excellent food and service. The only down side was the lack of parking, if a waiting taxi hadn't pulled out to let us park then we would have had to drive away' Will be back soon.

While holidaying in Glasgow my friend and I decided to go out for a drink. Lock 27 was the nearest pub, it sounded lovely, being by the river/canal, it was quite late so I phoned to ask what time they closed - the guy on phone said 1am - so we decided to walk - it was a lovely night and we were looking forward to sitting outside by the canal having a drink. We walked over a mile, arriving about 11.30pm. There was no atmosphere, one table full of teenagers & some poor fish in a manky fish tank. It was so late and we'd walked so far that we decided to stay. Ordered a drink - went to go outside but the bouncer stopped us - no drinks allowed outside!! Went back and sat down and last orders were called!! So much for opening till 1am!! We drank our drink and left. Probably won't go back ...

I remembered enjoying a previous visit so took my friend when we were staying in the area. A long walk but worth it - the food was really good and the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was an offer - two main meals and a bottle of wine £20 - incredible value.

Found this pub with a lovely setting last night and the service was superb from Joanne? and staff.While the food was good but nothing oustanding it was good value for the money, especially the pizza thin and large and cooked to perfection.The steak pie the boss had was ok but personally don,t like a separate paste on top and some of the potatoes had some black tint an them.Overall a nice experience made even better by the staff.I can understand the comments made about the manager if you do not have a sense of humour but it is all in jest and tongue in cheek and if you cannot take a joke too bad!!!I forgot to mention the special deal available which is 2 main courses and a bottle of wine for £20 which can work out at just over £2.00 for the wineWiil be back in the near future ( make sure the hot drinks machine is turned on girls)

went for a stroll along the canal on Tuesday and stopped off at the lock for a few drinks while passing. It was really busy outside and there was a small queue at the bar the staff where very nice the owner even helped us outside to our table with our drinks. would definitely recommend this pub especially on a sunny day

On two occasions now we've been served by an incredibly rude man, I assume he is the owner, and we will not be returning.The first time we were informed we could not sit inside due to a large party reserved in an hour's time. The staff then (helpfully) said as long as we agreed to leave before the party arrived we could have a table. At ten minutes to that time we were then very rudely told to "get out".Yesterday I ordered a pint of Magners at the bar and got the (shouted) reply "don't have that, read the board...NEXT!!!" Any normal person would have managed to offer an alternative without yelling in my face and moving immediately on to the next customer.Not just poor service, but exceptionally rude. I have no idea how a bar charging the prices they do stays afloat with such awful staff. Would not recommend, will not be going back.

My daughter ordered steak pie, a bowl of tined stew without even the benefit of gravy granules with a piece of pastry sitting at one side. I ordered a baked potatoe, it was reheated and dried up. Side salad swimming in a dressing so heavy it had to be scraped off to get to the salad. Overpriced food was the most disappointing lunch we have ever had. The only good thing about this pub was the lovely setting beside the Forth and Clyde Canal.

Have passed this bar/restaurant loads of times we decided to venture in.First impressions were that it was dull and had a stale smell.We chose a corner table and seats. Menus were brought and drinks ordered.I thought the prices were probably dearer than other like establishments.£8-95 for a main meal although typical pub grub. We chose the ciabatta mine with sweet chilli chicken and fried peppers, and my husband the steak with fried onions. Both came with a small salad and dressing. Both were nice but not a lot of chicken in it.The waitress got other tables order mixed up a few times.Despite it being quiet it did take the food longer than expected.They do 2 main meals and a bottle of wine for £20 in the evenings.5 till 9pm.Would we return? Definitely not. No atmosphere, dull interior and slightly smelly.In the better weather there are tables outside and plenty of them to sit at the side of the canal and watch the swans!

Apparently it used to be decent for food in there but it wasn't when I went. The location is dead nice on a sunny day but the food is beyond basic and very over priced. I had a horrible sandwich and a dismal cup of coffee. Won't be back unless I'm steaming and considering tossing myself into the canal after

Was in at the weekend and it was amazing. Walked into the bar to very happy staff members, who you could tell we're happy to be there. This made me and my family feel very welcome. Went to order drinks from the bar and was served by an older man who was very polite and pleasant. Sat and had a meal with my family, food was absolutely stunning. After having food we stayed for a while and the atmosphere was great and that made us stay longer than planned. Everyone was smiling and happy. All staff members were lovely and made an effort with me and my family always making sure we were happy and that we didn't need anything else. I was a very happy visit to the lock and would 100% recommend lock 27 to anyone and will be returning again with my family. Thank you to everyone who served my family.

Fantastic meal last night great atmosphere staff was very friendly and manager was a good laugh and very pleasant thanks back again soon

I haven't been to the Lock for a good few years but used to enjoy a meal, a night out or a relaxed drinking session for the day when I was a student.On first impressions I was very disappointed as the place outwardly looked run down, bins lying open, no attention to detail. Inside was very similar - quite an unpleasant smell, sticky tables, sticky menus.The waitress was a lovely girl but there was a gentleman worker that was just unpleasant! Thankfully I didn't have to deal with him personally but both his manner and language were inappropriate. The bar was quiet so we were subjected to his ridiculous opinions and language whether we wanted to or not! I actually thought we were taking part in a spoof filming at one point but sadly not! On a positive note the food was faultless and I would actually purchase a tub of the homemade coleslaw - delicious!

We sat outside the lock beer garden last night with our wee Daisy I know dogs are not for everyone in beer gardens/bars but for us it's a great venue. Cheeky Jules ⭐️was the compare with some great tunes alfresco style while we basked in the early evening sun. The karaoke was also on offer for the brave, yes I obliged to belt out an old country song for my dear departed granny. So I would say give it a try if you haven't already. ⭐️⭐️Jeanie

We stopped in here for a bite to eat...I'm unfamiliar with the area but it looked quite nice.We ordered the fajitas and fish n chips...both were nice...not amazing but nice ☺What spoiled our meal was flies...not just one or two but enough for us to be waving our hands about to stop them landing on our table...my husband thought this might be because it's near the water...I'm not so sureNot sure we would recommend or return.

As always the loch is always a good shout on a sunny day due to its great location for sitting outside. However each time I've visited recently I have found everything else to be severely lacking. Firstly the outdoor menu is extremely limited and I struggle to see the rational in this. Someone ordered a platter and was told they couldn't have this outside. When staff were asked why, they simply said that they could not provide a reason. Normally an outdoor menu is limited due to safety, for example no glass or cutlery outside but there doesn't seem to be any such logic behind it here as both glasses and cutlery are permitted, chicken wings etc however are not, doesn't make sense. Secondly, the food that is being served is not up to scratch, especially considering the prices being charged. Over £9 for a pizza which is clearly not homemade and with a base which isn't even cooked properly? You can get a good homemade pizza for around the £5 mark all over Glasgow so this is not acceptable. The 'soup of the day' which is normally tomato and basil was inedible. I struggle to see how something so straight forward could go so wrong but it was just like a tin of tomatoes which had been heated up. I'm not even sure anyone had actually added any basil, soup from a tin would have been a better option. Furthermore although there was a friendly girl working behind the bar there are certain people serving who could improve their service. An elderly man approached the bar and asked if they sell coffee and was answered in a very abrupt way. Worse than this though, someone asked for a cocktail which is listed on the menu and was told it was too much of a pain to make, this customer changed their selection to suit the staff. If you find it difficult to make something don't have it on the menu as people don't want to feel they have done something wrong in asking for the things you claim to sell. I have been drinking and eating in the loch 27 for decades and as much as you really can not fault the location, that's really not enough to keep people coming so I hope management take on board these comments and try to bring back some of the old quality they always used to have.

Good night out when I was in..Tribute act and DJ....never had food but have before and it was ok although a bit pricey. There has been a change of owner since then so will be back to try food. Looked dark inside...still has a great outside sitting area next to the canal.

Came here for a beer with a few friends had a great day sitting in the beer garden. Food was also great can't fault the place at all

Had a fab night at the rod Stewart tribute act at lock 27 what a night. had a lovely meal which was reasonably priced and the staff where nice

Booked a table for 4 was running late but was welcomed with no problems staff couldnt be anymore helpful and pleasant. Great portion size well worth the money and food was so good me and my husband went back the next day for seconds complements to the chef.

I arranged to meet an old friend for lunch here, not having been in for a couple of years. Previously, I had always enjoyed the food. I didn't give it a thought until the morning of the day we were meeting when I looked at the reviews.I hoped they were wrong as it was too late to change our arrangement. The staff were friendly but the food was below average. I had chicken with cheese & barbecue sauce which was quite pricey for a pub lunch at 9:95. It was tough and inedible, drowned in the sauce and I left most of it.Pity, I have happy memories of the place but wouldn't go back.

Came to lock 27 for a late lunch early dinner on Monday 11th of April can not fault the food or the staff but there was a really annoying dog just continuously barking, if it wasn't the dog barking it was the owner shouting enough enough I came in for a quiet bite to eat and it was far from quiet. Really was a shame as its a lovely pub and lovely location but will not be returning unless they they do away with letting dogs in. People like to have a meal in peace & not feel like they're in the kennels.

There were not enough menus to go round - when I asked at the bar, another customer offered me their menus as there were none left. Took ages to get served as the only bar man was continually interupted by arguments with the chef over the phone and then the chef eventually appeared and continued to have their domestic (including swearing at each other) regarding a previous order. Food came at different times - food was average at best but was better than we were expecting. The place looks run down. The place has so much potential but is under-staffed and a very hostile atmosphere between customers. Will not be rushing back. Will be heading to the Strathmore next time.

Passed this place quite alot and never had time to go inside and see what it's like so popped in for a quick bite to eat on my day off. The staff where friendly and helpful very attentive asking if my meal was fine and topping me up with drinks the place was nice abit quiet but not that I'm complaining I think the food is reasonably priced and they have a good selection of beers all in all a great first time at the lock will definetly be returning in the summer to enjoy an ice cold beer in the sun.

Had an amazing lunch here 2 mains and a bottle of wine for £20.00.we had the fish and cheese burger have to say great portion sizes and very tasty . great value for money. the manager and staff were very welcoming and friendly great atmosphere would definitely come back .

Great location, excellent staff, polite and helpful. Booked in for a mother's day meal with my mum, daughters and grandson, the meal was absolutely amazing, hats off to the chef. I will be back again soon at Lock 27.

Have been a frequent visitor to Lock 27 since it opened it's door many years ago.Was always a lovely place to go on a nice warm day,to sit out at the canal side with a cold beer and watch people enjoying themselves.Over the last year I have watched the new Manager bring in bands, theme nights, fun nights etc, he is really making the Lock into somewhere we can now go for an evenings etertainment as well as enjoying their meal deals, which are amongst the best I have tried.Had the best Scampi and chips here the other night too

Popped in for a nice lunch with the family, love the location food was lovely and reasonably priced staff where friendly will definetly be returning

Popped in for a drink after a walk along the Forth & Clyde canal, fantastic location on the canal.Sadly once inside it was overrun with noisy dogs and noisier owners shouting at them to keep quiet.Quite a hostile atmosphere at the bar with a customer arguing with the staff about an over charged bill. Staff can best be described as barely functional and the manager looked as if he wished he was somewhere else as he failed to interact with his customers.So glad it was only a short visit for a drink and not food as the place has definitely gone to the dogs.

Great night at a lovely pub, staff very friendly couldn't be more helpful. The place could do with a bit of TLC, decor very dated but it is what it is and if u go with that attitude you will have a pleasant visit.

Went in for a quiet drink with my partner after a long day of Xmas shopping & I must say I had a fab night. Staff where friendly & the place was clean, the decors abit outdated could maybe be doing with a brightening up but other than that I had a great night especially when the karaoke started.

Excellent food and service would recommend it to family members. Furtherly enjoyed the night. Prices was good for the drink

Had our Christmas night on Friday at the lock 27. What a great night ! the food was amazing and I would recommend the haggis bon bons mmm . Traditional turkey dinner was yummy and hot chocolate fudge cake with real ice cream was delicious mmmm.I would recommend if you are local go!! It's a fun atmosphere, you got served at the bar quickly and easy to get home . I will defo be returning and would recommend party nights .

We cycle Balloch To Glasgow quite regularly and always stop here as we keep thinking, it will get better... No It won't. Service with a growl, coffee from a jar, food from ???This is a "locals" bar and don't you forget it.They will always do well as the location is fantastic, it's such a shame that it's not owned by someone who cares... .

visited on a nice sunny Sunday morning after a walk along the canal. On entering a member of staff shouted across " are you here to use the toilets only" a very nice welcome indeed!! We ordered coffees at the bar, the smallest cup of white coffee i'v seen. We sat outside where there were a crowd of males who didn,t have a clue how to behave in public. . We were not allowed to order a 2nd coffee from outside, strange laws!! A member of my family had also visited earlier in the week, and had the same opinion. The place has changed, we will not hurry back...

great food and lovely cosy setting will bring my wife back on regular occasion now. good for the footie too.

Food was really nice and at a good price too! Nice place to go to on a sunny day. Staff could have been a bit more professional.

Came in on a cool day looking for a seat. Nearly all had names on tables, so must be getting popular again.

I had fish and chips and my daughter had chilli nachos. The batter on my fish was lovely and the fish itself was a good portion and was way better than some of the fish I have had lately from many fish restaurants including Old salty's. My daughter gave the nachos a massive thumbs up. I have ate here many times over the years and have always loved the food. When the management changed hands the standards fell but now it definitely looks like they have definitely upped their game.

Called in at Lock 27 mid morning whilst searching for my ancestors in Glasgow, one of whom was the lockmaster in mid 19th century and lived in the house which is now the Lock 27 bar and restaurant. The bar was not open, but the friendly manager was hard at work cleaning and was very helpful in answering our questions. We'll certainly be back to sample the fare !

Eight 'Auld Gits' lunched here after a canal walk from Maryhill. Refreshments were enjoyed outside by the canal. It was peaceful with a few other customers. We ate inside and all enjoyed good quality grub. The fish n chips seemed freshly cooked and was particularly tasty.

This was our second visit. First visit was a warm summer afternoon walk along the canal and we just happened to come by this quaint pub. We enjoyed our drinks and decided we would have our lunch. This was an excellent visit. My boyfriend didn't stop talking about it. So we decided to do a wee bit of shopping in Morrisons and then head up.... Erm...this was not a great visit, in fact.. We'll never go back again. Setting foot in the pub there were about two people inside it (the weather was dull and not that warm). The bar/drinks area looked as though the pub was either closing down or someone forgot to order their stock! There were limited options for non alcoholic drinkers (I had the car and I'm a responsible driver.. And fancied something other than the same sold fizzy juice). Well I chose the wrong pub. Whilst my boyfriend orders the cider and fizzy cola, the man behind the bar decided to be rude to a customer and her child when ordering their food. The woman was quite embarrassed... When she left he proceeded to pull faces. I asked him what the problem was... Well.. Its because she didn't bring back the menus after perusing them!! Really? My boyfriend and I decided to take our drinks outside, seen as there were barely anyone inside the pub. There were three unfriendly females sitting outside the pub with bikes hogging the way, they didn't attempt to move to enable us to sit at one of the tables. I couldn't wait to finish my drink and go elsewhere.. Anywhere but at Lock 27!!!If your looking for a warm friendly atmosphere or a variety of beverages... Go somewhere else. Very disappointing but mostly disappointed because we thought we would have had great experience like the first visit. Staff attitude poor!!! Extremely disappointing..

Staff are very welcoming and warm, food is amazing - especially the chicken breast - good for some banter and good pints :)

Obviously short on staff but no need for rudeness and to very ubrupt to customers. Cannot believe the company wud allow this! Wil not recommend nor return sadly.

We stopped here today because of the beautiful location but that's the only thing that was lovely. I had ordered a bottle of water to be told they didn't sell bottled water so I was given a horrible tasting tap water. I ordered fajitas and as well as having ran out of sour cream where totally tasteless, the tortillas hadn't been warmed so where quite hard and the salsa was synthetic. The girls who served us were very pleasant hence the reason I've given 2/5 but the food was definitely 0/5, such a shame for what is a beautiful location.

Enjoying a sunny day off work with my friend, we chose Lock 27 for its local and lovely surroundings, but after the rudeness of the bar man and the 40 minute wait for our food, we will not be returning to this eaterie (Had we not pre-paid for our food, we would have left).Looking forward to our Fajitas, the arriving sizzling platter looked delicious, but the cheap tasting flavouring and the several days old tortillas were hard and broke when one attempted to roll them, which was very disappointing.The staff looked so unapproachable and intimidating (the bar man especially) that we decided not to comment on our disappointing meal.The 'Dogs are welcome' sign, proved not to be the case, when my friend's dog went into the bar when she went to the toilet. This resulted in an aggressive "get your dog on a lead".Top tip to the staff....your customers keep your business running, so try being polite and friendly...maybe even smile occasionally. Cheerio.

I was there for lunch with a friend while we were on fairly long part of our walk along the Forth & Clyde Canal. It was a sunny day so we sat at the tables outside. There were also a number of dogs and young children - and why not?The food offered was fairly standard "pub grub", clearly aimed to appeal to the patrons. Again, why not - the place does have to make a profit to survive, unlike other closed places that we had passed on our walk.The bar was busy so the staff member offered to bring our drinks out later. He did, and it was helpful that it saved standing at the bar. But he didn't take away the used glasses from the previous customers.The food was quite slow coming, but it was lunchtime and the kitchens were clearly running at (or even a bit above) capacity. The quality was, sadly, only average. In particular the peas had an "off" taste and seemed to have been out of the freezer for too long while the gammon steak could (for my taste) have been grilled for a bit longer - but the chips were spot-on!. Having said that my colleague was pleased with his pulled pork and salad. Overall it does not have the attention to detail that the Wetherspoon's chain always seems to achieve.I'm looking at some recent reviews as I write this and have to say that they are not wholly unfair, though Nick V does go rather over the top. It's a shame because it's canal-side situation with traffic noise only in the distance, has great potential for an outdoor eating place in the city. Note to the management : please don't dismiss the criticism ~ you have a great venue here so see how most Wetherspoons manage and emulate their style!

at the time we went there,the staff seemed to think it was a privilage for them to serve us,and we waited for a while to be acknolaged,so we wont be back there in a hurry,its a pity,if they had more manners,it might be a nice place
